We’ve been going to Dr. Waage for about 8 years and have had a great experience. Whether it’s filling cavities or general cleanings, he always takes a lot of time for questions, and is so good with the kids!

Our child’s doctor recommended this place 9 years ago when we needed to find her first dentist! Dr Waage has always been kind and very upfront about everything with our child’s teeth from year 2 to 11! The hygienists have always been so friendly too. They each have been great by explaining each step with our daughter.

We love the farm theme, and the small slide in the waiting area! I highly recommend Walnut Hills Pediatric Dentistry.

We are so thankful for Dr. Waage. Our daughter had trauma from another dentist and Dr. Waage has been so patient and clam with her, it has made all the difference in the world. From one very thankful mom!

Update: This was my first time taking my 2 year old. I was anxious about the appointment, because he's not a fan of opening up his mouth or having his teeth brushed. The dental technician was AMAZING! She showed him what she was going to do on the stuffed animals first, and he was so excited to get his teeth flossed and polished with the special brush.

They really are the top of the line, from the front desk staff to the hygienists to Dr Waage and Dr Hans! We love going to Walnut Hills Pediatric Dentistry! The entire staff is kind and welcoming. I especially appreciate their willingness to schedule our 4 kids at the same time. The office environment is fun and Dr Waage is the *best*!
